The Office of Refugee Resettlement Did Not Award and Manage the Homestead Influx Care Facility Contracts in Accordance with Federal Requirements

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), a program office of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within HHS, manages the Unaccompanied Alien Children Program. ORR funds a network of about 195 facilities. ORR also operates influx care facilities to provide temporary emergency shelter and services for children. ORR contracted with Comprehensive Health Service, LLC (CHS), a medical management services provider, to operate a temporary influx care facility located in Homestead, Florida. Some members of Congress have expressed concerns about ORR’s awarding of a $341 million sole source contract to CHS.
